Mark B. is the homeowner of this basement in Aledo was concerned about water coming into his basement whenever it would rain. Mark was especially worried because the basement was somewhat finished so he wasn't sure what area to expose to find the source of the seepage so he called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems.

The team installed the SuperSump system which is a patented system that can be fitted with the cast iron zoeller pump the space would need. The SuperSump comes with an airtight lid and airtight drain which allow water to drain but does not allow water vapor to rise back into the space. The lid also prevents debris from falling into the sump jeopardizing the function of the sump. WaterWatch also comes with the SuperSump to alert Mark of issues that may arise.

The team constructed a discharge line and connected it to the LawnScape to expel water out of the space. The team also installed the IceGuard which will repel water away from the foundation walls in the case of a pipe freezing. Now Mark has fewer worries when he sees a cloud in the sky!

Cory L. was displeased with his leaky basement so he was pointed in the direction of the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems.
